    Should be getting my Studio 15 along with Bluetooth Travel Mouse in the next few days. Just wondering if there is the mouse goes into standby when not being used, and how long does the battery last?

    Tried to find this info everywhere with no success.

    Hey there,
    It looks like the Dell BT Travel Mouse has some power saving settings (standby mode), which you can access/setup thru the Setpoint Settings for the mouse.

    How long the battery will last, would depend on individual usage (looks like average 3-5 months).
    Here is one linky that may be helfpul to you.

    I'm sure other Dell BT Travel Mouse owners, will also chime in and give you their helfpul input! ;)

    Hope that helps,

    Cin ;) :)

    I have this mouse, and it does seem it goes to sleep if I don't use it for a few minutes. I have to shake the mouse to wake it up and it works again. But it also has a switch on the bottom of it you can turn it off with. Battery life, no idea, mine are still going after a week.
